The Wikipedia article now organises the data, and has links to the
original papers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-chromosomal_Aaron

The haplogroup numbers from Thomas et al (1998) count the number
"xDE,PR" -- ie not in Hgs D, E, P, Q, R

Behar et al (2003) have a more detailed breakdown of Cohanim numbers by
haplotype, from a slightly enlarged sample.


The article doesn't include Bonnie's wonderful breakthrough yet, which -
with luck - means we may be getting close to finally getting the story
sorted out!
